Pure conjecture but I believe GA was the reason MU was bustin' to get into the late lottery picks last June. Milwaukee has found some talent in the mid first round in drafting Sanders, Henson, and Antetokounmpo in recent drafts.

Yes. When you see teams consistently getting good picks in the mid first round it is interesting and certainly adds fuel to the "build while competing" argument. When talking about the Bucks it is important to note their assistant GM for previous 5 years is now in Toronto (Jeff Weltman).

2008 was a wasted pick for the Bucks. Hammond and Weltman were hired in April 2008. They really f'ed up that year, here is their draft history:

Thank you Bryan Colangelo for trading that 1st round pick for Kyle Lowry

Looking back at this post, really puts things into perspective (original post, April 9, 2013).
